Lock her up

Dear Editor,

In response to the letter of Gary Widell in the Times Observer March 15. Bravo! Exactly the message of my previous letter.

Pillory Hillary over that personal server. It was legal? Illegal? It was irresponsible. Dangerous. Stupid even.

Was it four investigations into Benghazi? Mistakes? Lame excuses? Loretta Lynch? The tarmac?

Defending or condemning Hillary is not the point. With a focus on Lock Her Up the point is what is not said:

No mention of Candidate Trump hoping Russia hacked the email server of our Secretary of State. Pleading for Russia to reveal confidential information to the world.

No dispute of the Bush/Cheney lies to start a war with Iraq. 250,000 dead. 4,424 dead American troops. 31,952 wounded. Over a trillion dollars wasted. Bush joked about the gosh-durned WMDs that were never found. The blind PTSD soldier with a leg blown off isn’t laughing.

Nary a word to dispute Putin’s beating to death of Sergei Magnitsky. No concern of a failed real estate developer, without advisors, going tete-a-tete with the heart and soul of the KGB.

Nary a word about Saudi’s brutal Khashoggi murder. Remember Candidate Trump’s dubious story of Muslims in New Jersey cheering when the twin towers went down? Guess where masses WERE cheering. Saudi Arabia. Where 15 of the 19 hijackers were from. But we love the Saudis. They spend a fortune at Trump hotels.

Nary a peep about the president himself betraying his intelligence community by leaking the content of a classified and highly sensitive Israeli intelligence operation to two high-ranking Russian envoys, Sergey Kislyak and Sergey Lavrov. No server needed. He told them face to face in the Oval Office.

Nary a word on China and Russia monitoring Trump’s personal cell phone. (Fake news!?) No mention of former campaign chairman Manafort. He’s locked up. No mention of Gen. Flynn, National Security Advisor for President Trump, who texted a Russian DURING THE INAUGURATION about a deal to end Russian sanctions (yes, end the Magnitsky Act). He will be locked up.

Lock her up. Is it all about Hillary? Seriously? Or is Nero fiddling while Rome is burning?
